About Me

My photo
Raleigh, NC
Born in Richmond, Virginia, grew up in Kernersville, North Carolina, and now reside in Raleigh. I attribute most of my fishing prowess to my father, who took me fishing often as a child. We would regularly do float trips on the James River in Virginia, which is where I learned to love canoeing and river fishing. Unfortunately, my father has passed, but he lives on through my passion for chasing fish from my canoes. I intend to pass this love for fishing and the outdoors onto my children and can't wait to share these experiences with them. I currently have 4 canoes: Customized Old Town Guide 119, Customized Mohawk 16 Royalex, Coleman Scanoe, and 12' Indian River Solo.

Quick Departure

I've been working in the Tarpon Springs, Fl area over the last few months, making trips every few weeks. A friend and co-worker has a nice flats boat and we managed to get out one afternoon for some fishing. Wind was blowing pretty steady and we threw plastic paddle tails on jig heads looking for sea trout as the wind blew us over the shallow flats. We caught a variety of fish: trout, sea bass, mackerel, and the obligatory pinfish. It was a good day and once I hope to repeat several times over the next year.
